Prompt 4

Thanks to the internet, people have more access to more information than any other time in history. People can instantly find information on almost any topic in the time it takes to type a couple of words and click a mouse. But we often know so little about the source of this information, including its reliability and its qualifications of the person who wrote it. If we don't know its source, information is not much good to us.

Assignment:  

                     Write and answer the following questions

1. Do people need to know the source of any information before they use it? You do need to know the source of information before you use it because what if the source is wrong, or the source came from people who choose the wrong. 
2. Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. 

Point of View

Do you find answers to your homework on the internet or on the textbooks? What we all need to do is look for the answers in everything. The reason why is because sometimes the internet can be false sometimes the textbooks can be false, or a friend or a person telling you the answer can be false. Best thing to do is to check your source.

          When you need help on homework you should find resources to help you but don't just find one look for all of them and choose the best one that you think. You should use statement and reason, write your statement on one side, and write the reason on the other side. This will help you know if your source is good or bad.
